Weather

Sunny and hot with almost no breeze. RMP reached 60F today! Above treeline temps reached 39F on Kendall (at 13,000') and as high as 48 on Putney.

Snowpack

Losing volume rapidly. West Lime lost 10" in two days. Many paths south of Silverton have growing brown patches. Recent avalanche tracks are shallow enough that the ground is showing in many. Moist, corn snow conditions on E-S-W aspects.

Avalanche

Did not observe any new significant slides other than some small wet-loose activity.
